UR Ignorant
Can you read?  Did you even read my post?  I am not whining, I am trying to explain to you why some people can not leave their jobs.  How dare you presume to know me or anything about me?  You are starting to sound suspiciously like MQLover, Chucky, Frankie Boy, Zipper, et al....
How ignorant are you?
That has got to be the most ludicrous statement that I have ever heard. Such arrogance coming from where? A fellow American? Who do you think you are making a statement like that? Of course they have a right to earn a living just as we do. Yes they are mostly a very poor people and yes they are nice. But of course, you can't get over yourself for one second now can you? What makes you think that because we are Americans we are SO MUCH BETTER than anyone else in the world? That is just absolutely not true. If you can believe that for one second then you truly are living with rose colored glasses on and I for one feel sorry for you. That is a pathetic existence to have.
You think I am ignorant?!....
I told you how many ILLEGALS I have known on the post below. I am curious to know how many YOU know. Don't tell people they are ignorant until you know the situation. Find out the facts before you speak. I usually do. I can take shelered because I am from a small town. I can even take naive because I have been there before. But I can not and will not take being called IGNORANT by someone who does not even know me OR know my circumstances. I have never BEEN nor am I IGNORANT. That is a very rude thing to say. I have never called anyone that on this board and I haven't seen other people call anyone that either. Have a little respect.
You are very ignorant about depression and antidepressants...SM
The drugs you list are NOT "happy" pills and are NOT addicting. They correct a chemical imbalance in the brain and (hopefully) allow the depressed person to feel somewhat NORMAL again. They are not uppers as you imply.

Unless you've experienced the living hell that is clinical depression and the wonders these medications can do, keep your mouth shut.


sorry but the Bible isn't ignorant, dear.

might be careful of that violent tendency as well, all that hammering on someone's head.

besides, everyone here is entitled to their opinion.

They're ignorant - some hubbies...sm

That's why I don't want another one....did it once - won't do it again.  My daughter, by the way, got me the only thing I wanted, a dish garden....and it was in a big turtle with a little baby turtle hanging onto the big (mommy) turtle.  I love dish gardens. 


The older children will eventually GET it, especially when THEY become parents.  *lol*


Life brings with it the ignorant!
Most patients probably don't realize that it is the nurse that handles their care essentially.  She/he alerts the doctor with problems, questions that arise, health status, etc.  The physician will "round", but it is the nurse that handles the "triage" tasks so to speak.  The patients are usually nice to the doctors, but expect the nurses to be their "slaves".  Yes, I am also a patient advocate since I've lost both of my parents in an inpatient healthcare setting and both with terminal diseases, but I also believe that a hospital is not a "hotel" where every whimsical desire is granted.  To understand why a nurse would say that is quite easy.  Transcriptionists sit at desks and look like secretaries.  It is only when the Transcriptionist is not there that the triumphs are noticed by others.  When I left a hospital setting, I had to train six, I mind you, (6) people to do my job.  I was full-time.  It is funny how much transcriptionists do that goes unnoticed until they are no longer there to do it.  What a smack in the face that hospital got, and it is a shame because it is the patient that will suffer.  Unfortunately, we don't usually get the recognition we deserve, but at least we can sleep at night knowing we've contributed.  I wonder if the same posters on these boards that complain they are unappreciated are the same ones complaining about having to work the holidays???????  I'm sure I'll get blasted for that one!  Oh well, I love my job and most people do that are in the transcription field, hence, they would not do it at all!  Wouldn't most of you agree?  I don't want to offend anyone, but it is just how I feel!  Be safe out there!

What an embarrassing, ignorant post
you really ought to be ashamed of your comments but I'm not taking any bets.
Name-calling is the first sign of an ignorant person

That's a pretty ignorant statement - do you know what "customs" are???
Women are to be accompanied by men and are to follow the laws in the Middle East.
I love how stating what I believe to be factual is ignorant- this has nothing
customs or what their religious beliefs or morality is. I am just saying it will most likely be nothing like she expects, certainly nothing like the freedom we have here in the U.S., and she should think long and hard about it. Go in with your eyes open. Boy, the things people take "offense" at on this board is unbelieveable.
And name-calling makes one look more ignorant than ever, dear.
There's a name for you too, sweetie, but it's "politically incorrect" to use it. You know what it is though.

Now go read the New York Times and dream of a better world while we all stand in a circle holding hands and singing Koom-by-ah!

Wondering what part of Fanbelt, Idaho this one's from.
can you explain EMR - I know about voice recognition, but I am ignorant
about this.  How exactly does it work.  I had always assumed it was for lab results and such.  Do they do clinic notes, letters, discharge summaries this way?
Forgive me...
Perhaps I'm missing something here, and if so, I apologize.  I run a service.  If you transcribed for my accounts, you wouldn't be an IC; you'd be a SC.  That being the case, nine cents is a good rate given reasonable clarity of the dictators and other factors involved, which are many.
Please forgive me if this has already been said...
I have worked with women involved in domestic violence for the last 15 years. You can call the local police deparment to find the domestic violence advocates in your area. There are shelters where you and your kids and stay. I believe each state may vary on how many days you can stay. These shelters for the most part are secret. The advocates have ways of helping you make a plan to move out safely. They can help you get a potection order, got to court, etc. In the protection order you may request your husband move out. But please keep in mind a protection order is only a piece of paper and doesn't mean your husband won't get upset and break the protection order. The advocates can also be a wonderful support system for you. I hope this will help you. (800) 799-SAFE this is the domestic violence hotline and they can put you touch with someone in your area. Also this website is good...http://www.dvpsh.org/ Just click on "getting help" and there are tons of numbers listed where you can go for help.
Forgive--SM
after 10 years of marriage, it happened to me too. We divorced, but only because he wanted to be with her more than he wanted to be with me, which is fine...now. It hurt alot at the time and anger ruled my world, but you cannot hold onto that. The only person it hurts is you. You have to move forward instead of staying stuck in the rut of anger and hostility. I forgave him, after the fact. Not that he deserved it, but because I had to let it go...for MY sake. Everybody makes mistakes. Perhaps marrying me in the first place was a mistake. Who knows? But I am happier now...alone, but happy. Hopefully he is too. I did love him, and hating him now would only hurt me, not him, or what he did. Let it go.
Forgive me
Yes I know what HIPAA is - it kept me from visting a friend in the hospital last week. I understand what the person is saying - i don't understand the concern by someone other than an American - you can just ignore my comments if you don't agree or if you feel i am ignorant. this is an open forum - and i abide by the rules - so i feel that i can speak my mind or someone else's if i choose. but thanks for the concern that i am ignorant - that's really one more thing we don't need here - is more ignorance.
Hee hee! I can forgive them nearly anything
if they apologize to me for it. Means they know I'm alive.
Forgive me...sm

but when I first saw your post, I asked myself...is this a joke?  Then I read it again and I realized what you were after (I only read the tagline).


I have been an MT for 12 yrs or so and I have used the same expander, same library for 10 of those years.  I would not still be an MT if I had not had someone turn me onto an Expander and insist that I use it.  As I recall, I was doing about 100 to 115 lines an hour without the expander and with a very few (about 300) autocorrects.  (I started using an expander that came with a library of about 13,800 terms and began to tweak it.  I have more like 20,000 now.)  I went past 150 lph within about 2 weeks, over 175 in a month, over 250 the next month and then I did spend about 4 or 5 months reaching for 300 lph with the expander.  I didn't get faster than that for some time because other things needed to catch up...like my "ear" and my working knowledge of medical terminology. It took time because I also was not maximizing my expander and I am still not sure that I am truly maximizing it.  I could make better use of it, I am sure.  I work full time and for the past 9 days' worth of work I have 16,000 lines and still need to work one more day this week.  Without an expander, I would not have half that.  I am just not that fast of a typist, but I am expander whiz.


There is a free expander around and it used to be this site that had it, but it isn't any longer.  I have a library I am happy to share, but you'd have to put my 20,000 terms in by hand because it does not have a converter. 


WHATEVER. I can't handle ignorant people, which means this conversation is over.
SEE YA!
Please forgive me .. all people who
live in the South are not cut from the same cloth.  I have been watching this for a week now and my heart breaks each and every time I see the images on our TV not that far from where **I** live.  I was lucky to come from good circumstances, and yet I was taught as a child to NEVER put one person above another and that our good fortune could leave for any number of reasons.  This storm took a national treasure and dessimated it because the federal government did not allocate the monies needed to make a jewel of a city safe for its residents and vistors.  I really love living in Florida out of the snow and the winters I cannot ever forget, but I guess that Florida in essence represents many of the ills in our society because now it is a melting pot of many people from all over this country and Europe too who come here to enjoy weather and sun.  We are destroying this state too in the name of progress and to me, when you wreak havoc on nature .. eventually you pay for it.  The universe is about balance and we are ruining it.  Humanity is about basic human principle and we have forgotten them.  We police the world and we dictate how people should live in our image .. and yet it is tarnished by so many ridiculous things .. like not being willing (because we are certainly able) to care for our own.  We are products of our environment and the precepts we were taught as children.  My mother and I had many differences while she was alive but I can look still to her and feel pride in what I was taught as a child and I thank her in times like these that she was such a good mother to us and made us understand what is right and what is simply unconscienable.  And, lastly, in times like these should we quote Montel Williams or should we go a bit deeper than that and wonder what Jesus is thinking of us now?
No problem, we forgive you.

Forgive me, but isn't that kinda mean?

Besides, my friend has the "collar" for her yorkie and the dang thing yaps right over it. The way I did it with my dog when he was a pup didn't make him "afraid" of barking (knowing he'd get zapped). He just learned that we did not like it when he barked.  He also doesn't jump up on people unless I give him the okay and he does NOT lick people. EEEEW.


I didn't rely on gadgets with my dog.  I trained him with patience and rewards.  Works every time and makes a heck of a better dog.


If you're going to zap a dog when he barks, why not just kick him?  The "correction devices" are only made for people that don't want to bother to spend the time.


 


No I would not. That is the 1 thing I can not forgive.
I told my husband that if he ever cheats I will cut his gonads off - and I mean it. Infidelity is one thing I will not tolerate or live with.

My take is - don't make an A**hole out of me. If that is what you want, tell me and then go to it. Sneaking aorund and everyone in the world knowing what you are doing before me is a bad mistake. If you want to be with someone else - that is fine, just tell me first. I will have less of a problem with that rather than lying to me and sneaking around. I think you all get what I am trying to say.

So, no I would never forgive such behavior or forget it. I also told my husband that will be the one thing I will divorce him over and take him to the cleaners.

Other than that, we are happily married.
I think I could forgive..but not forget.

If either him or I cheated, the trust is gone in the marriage.  I think I would forgive him (not right away) as he is the father of my kids and I will always have a relationship with him whether married or not, but I I think at that point, the marriage would be over.  That's what marriage is to me, loyalty to each other.  I would say he feels the same way.  I can forgive anyone, it's just my nature, but I don't forget.


Forgive me if you misunderstood..
I agree that you must be a fast typist in order to make a decent financial living. I just do not think that speed should be placed above accuracy just for speed sake. Speed comes with knowledge, knowledge is obtained by looking over your reports and transcribing correctly.
You might, but some recruiters might not forgive that

Forgive me if this is old news.

Came across this article tonight; while it comes to no conclusions, it's interesting nonetheless.  Especially where an executive from a national MT company calls his at-home MTs "overpaid housewives."

Forgive me if you have already attempted this, but
there are certain doctors I speed up very fast and believe it or not I actually understand them better. Others I slow down and have the same affect.

Not to be insulting but have you tried this, do you have easy access to the speed?

Best of luck and you may not believe it but sometimes you can pick up more skills with the more difficult dictators...I started that way with a supervisor (it is funny now but was not then) who gave me every difficult (terrible) dictator for an entire hospital, and it only made me better...

Forgive me, but I'd think the phone book would be SM
the proper resource for a local clinic - didn't you look in the phone book? For the doc, you can google. I work for hospitals in three other states and I have to look that stuff up all the time. You're supposed to use the resources you have, without having QA tell you the obvious. Just my opinion.

I admire your ability to forgive and hopefully this will all blow over - however, that being said,

please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed.  A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life.  My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals. 


poll: Would you forgive your husband if he cheated?
Assuming you have children and assumming he seems remorseful, would you save the marriage?  
oops. It copied three times. please forgive.
the first few paragraphs should be enough. Don't know how that happened. sorry.

Lord forgive me for saying this, but at the start of this, they interviewed her roommates on CNN, I
think. Maybe Fox. At any rate, the girls were rather "smug" about it all, said that Natalee was quite taken with this Dutch kid and had basically "dumped" her friends the last 2 days to hang all over this guy.  When they were asked what was "so special" about him, they said that Natalee was quite flattered that he was paying attention to her, as he was considered the "#1 Catch On the Island"...So, that certainly explains why her friends weren't "covering her back". She had ditched them more or less to be with Romeo.  Happened to me a lot in the "old bar hopping days" with my girlfriends.  One would hook up with some total stranger, and just dump the rest of us "singles" for the night.  Luckily, they all lived, though we did have a scary encounter now and again, this being in Southern Florida.
One late check, I'd forgive, but the 2nd and I'd on my way to the Labor Board. (nm)

I see old people who would otherwise not have a job smiling and happy with Walmart. I see undereducated people who do not look employable working at Walmart. Walmart employs millions of Americans who may otherwise be on public assistance.
